About Us

We first fell in love with Siberians because they have beautiful coats and  a low allergen level.  Our kids and husband have allergies and do not react to our Siberian cats or their kittens.  Please know that this is not the case with everyone - if you have mild allergies, you will probably tolerate the Siberian very well, if you have moderate-severe allergies, we recommend testing your allergies and spending additional time with the kitten you choose before taking him/her home.

• Our queens and kittens are raised among our family and are loved until its time for them to go to their forever family.  We understand those who are opposed to breeding and we respect those opinions.  If you are able to provide a forever home for a cat or kitten from a shelter, we completely support that.  Our purpose is to assist cat lovers whose allergic reactions prevent them from having a furry friend around. A Siberian kitten may be their only hope! 

• Studies have shown that 80% of  people with cat allergies have little or no reaction to the Siberian  breed. The people that fall in the 20% range that do have an allergic  reaction are usually those with severe allergies to cats and those with  complications to asthma.  The Siberian Cat produces lower levels of Fel D1  and, therefore, may  provoke less allergic reactions than most other  cats. Therefore, they  can have hypo-allergenic qualities.

• There  is no way of  definitive testing to know if your allergies will tolerate a Siberian  Cat. The only way to know whether your system will tolerate a  Siberians  is to spend some time in a home which has an adult Siberian.  If you wish to come to our home to visit our Siberian queens, please email us to schedule a visit.  It is possible that you may have some reaction when you take your kitten home.  You may be able to build up your immunity.  We also have some tips to help manage, should you continue to have reactions.

It was a bonus that Siberians have wonderful personalities.  It is true, some are more lap-cats and some are more adventurous - some are shy and some are the center of attention.  However, they all tend to be loving and friendly.  You can even teach your Siberian tricks! Juniper taught me how to fetch (lol) and Jilly will bring me toys (haven't mastered fetching yet). 

Kittens have a lot of energy so they will need lots of playtime - which will create connection with you and will tire them out!  They will then crash and burn and if you play with them on your lap, they will typically fall asleep on your lap!  Kittens will usually mellow out after being altered and again after their first birthday. 

Socialization is an important part of your kittens life from two weeks until they are ready to go to their forever home.  This encourages bonding and creates people-friendly family members!  

Our family spends a lot of time socializing our kittens, including our kids, neighbor kids and our dogs.  Our kittens will be ready to go to their new forever home between 11-12 weeks. 

We will give more details about each kittens personalities when you come to our home to visit them.  Even the shy kittens will blossom and connect with you when they leave our home, parents and siblings! 

We encourage visits for those who are interested in a Siberian.  Keep an eye on our Facebook page for our updates and let us know if you would like to come by!  

  Once you have your new furry family member home, you are a new parent! Here are some tips:

• Handle the kitten often for at least 5 minutes at a time.  Pet the kitten often, which will keep him socialized. Pick your kitten up frequently, give him a kiss and set him back down which will give him security that he can be both loved and free.
• Allow the kitten to climb and play on you, which teaches the kitten that you are a source of fun and safety.
• Use your voice to teach the kitten right and wrong. Firmly say 'No' when biting, wandering into dangerous territory or playing too rough.  Redirect and teach appropriate play.
• Inspect your kitten's body.  Massage your kittens paws - this will make clipping their nails a more pleasant  experience.

Warnings:

• Don't let your kittens bite your hands or feet.  This can create a bad habit and will encourage biting when you are not playing with them!
• Play often but keep in mind, kittens have a short attention span.  They tire quickly and will need to rest.
• Be patient - it can take awhile to get to know him and for him to know you!
